What Is Domain

Domain

In this universe every object, every person has its own name with which we can identify one thing from another. This same concept applies here in the name Domain.

A Domain name is nothing but website name. Basically, domain is the address where anybody in this earth can access our website using internet connection.
We everyone heard about IP address which stands for Internet Protocol address. An IP address is the series of numbers for a particular website or mobile phone or any network connection. As IP address is a bunch of numbers, so it's become very difficult for us to remember this number to access. To avoid this type of problem in the year 1985 on 15th of March a Massachusetts computer company, Symbolics first launched their domain name "symbolics.com".It can say that domain name is the alternate remembering process of an IP address.

There are two types of domain. The first one is SLP which stands for second level domain and the next one is TLD which stands for top-level domain. The domain name can be a maximum of 63 characters. It is basically an URL or address of a website. When we are talking about an URL, it is also important to say, there are 5 parts of a full URL. These parts are:
1.  Protocol:
                   This is hypertext transfer protocol("https://").
2.  Subdomain:
                  "www. " is the subdomain of every website.
3.  Domain:
                   This is one's actual website name.
4.  Directories
5.  Webpage:
                   It usually is written in hypertext markup language.

Any domain name is a combination of some letters and numbers. The extension makes a major role while choosing a domain name. It is to be noted that domain name must be registered before use it. If anyone searches by typing our web domain name "motech360.blogspot.com" they will go only on our website not others.
